Best value: November, early December, May
Weather is nearly identical to peak season, water is still warm, prices drop sharply and restaurants take walk-ins. This is the locals' answer to when to bring visitors.
Summer: June to September
Hot, humid, with near-daily afternoon thunderstorms that usually clear within the hour. The ocean is at its warmest and hotel rates at their lowest. This is also hurricane season, peaking in August and September — buy travel insurance.
